The granularity of the commits communicate the history of how the work
was done.  They aren't redone to produce a Linux-kernel-style patch
series.  If you're reviewing the code, you'd want to read the whole
thing at once, which is why I pushed it all at once.

Just for concreteness, the relevant commit is here:
